Many of them were prettier...aaaand we’re done.

Here’s my armchair psychiatrist theory. If you’re 65-75ish now, you were 10-ish in 1955-65-ish. Cars were exciting, prettier, and represented a different thing - class aspirations, a kind of mobility that your parents didn’t have, etc. Even the poorest car owner could go…

That man had a filthy mouth. His version of the Aristocrats joke is legendary.

Everyone makes fun of the dude with cargo pants until they need a lighter, pocket knife, bottle opener, wet wipe, glasses repair kit, leatherman, piece of sturdy string, several dollars of loose change, and a really solid Magic: The Gathering deck.

It’s so simultaneously sappy, condescending, and low key emotionally violent that it’s like Vin Diesel is competing to be America’s worst mother-in-law.

LOL wut?

Lava. Specifically pahoehoe. I mean, look at it:

Yeah, as soon as I read this, I was like:

Me while reading: “There’s gotta be something about meth in here somewhere”

Last night, the coyotes were howling somewhere in the woods around me. Second best neighbors I’ve ever had. Best was a skunk I named Lockheed who lived somewhere behind a more urban apartment I lived in. It would come out around sunset and I’d toss it some food and it would hang out while I talked to it for a few…

We went to a wedding in Western PA about 20 years ago, to my girlfriend/fiancé/wife college friend’s nuptials. (I can’t remember exact date so we were in one of those phases).

I pay for AAA membership. Fraud increases costs to honest customers.

Also grown cats (like all the adult mammals except us mutants who are tolerant) lose ability to digest lactose in milk. They shouldn’t even be given cow milk as it will cause digestive problems. Human milk is even higher in lactose content (~7%) than cows (below 5%).

What really kills me about this story is the cat didn’t want any of it either. 

Drunk History did a great episode on this. Courtney Cox played Edith. She was ordering people around like she was Monica Geller. 

Yeah, those are so tacky. I replaced mine with these and they’re way better:

Lots of banjo news around here today. We need Steve Martin to stop by and complete the trifecta.

Any school that teaches Bowie is alright by me.

... I think you missed the point. People are not talking about “factory owned” dealerships. They are talking about Dealerships cease to exist. You buy it from a Ford store just like you buy a computer from a Apple store or Dell store, or the like.

Roasted rack of lamb with mint jelly or sauce is a treat. I have yet to try it with a chocolate sauce but I do not comprehend the hate for chocolate mint. Peppermint Patties are a national treasure and grandma always had a sleeve of Andes mints for after dinner coffee on holidays. Oh well, more for me.

Again, The Takeout reminds us of what makes this country truly great. Immigrants who left everything behind to start over in a new country and make that country better. Some built bridges, some built subways, some cleaned, some repaired. Still more gave us wonderful things to eat. I had not heard of this marvelous…
